Erindale Dean Desmond Mor-
ton's New New Program is one
step towards redefining the pur-
pose of university, according to U
of T President-Designate James
Ham. He spoke to Erindale staff
and students in the Council
Chamber last Thursday.
"I believe that something like
the New New Program is the
beginning of a searching-out that is
absolutely necessary for institu-
tions of higher learning," he said.
"In our concern for growth, we've
stopped asking what university is
for, what it's all about."
Most of what university is about,
according to Ham, is the Humani-
ties.
"The Globe and Mail jumped on
me for saying that university is not
for the study of a vocation, but I'm
going to be completely frank: you
could lose the professional faul-
ties and still have a university, but
if you lose the Faculty of Arts and
Science — particularly the
Humanities — you would no longer
have a university."
An education in the Humanities
is not inconsistent with vocational
training, Ham stressed. "A person
who is trained in the Humanities is
not particularly job-oriented, yet
who is better qualified to go out
into a troubled society and offer
solutions. Unless we in the univer-
sities turn our minds in that
direction we will lose the historic
foundation of the university."
Ham said that institutions of
higher learning in general have
gone through a period of massive
growth, supported by post-war
technological and intellectual
achievements, in which higher
education came to be regarded as a
panacea for our society.
Accompanying this growth. Ham
said, was a democratisation of the
university's structure. "We got
things like the New Program, for
example... an expression on behalf
of students and staff that we should
have freedom of choice," he said.
The development of the New New
Program indicates that we are
going through a reaction against
such freedom, he added.
The program is valuable, he
said, because the priorities of our
society have changed dramati-
cally. "The reality today is that in
the face of a faltering economy,
higher education has fallen very
low on the priorities of provincial
and federal governments."
The program should also help to
create a sense of class identity and
the opportunity for creating class
relationships which might not
otherwise exists, he said.
According to Ham, the size of the
University of Toronto makes it
potentially unmanageable, but he
remains optimistic. "I don't like
the image of this university as a
huge structure, but rather as a
complex one, in the molecular
sense; the molecule of the univer-
sity has grown more complex
through the addition of Scar-
borough and Erindale," he said.
He added that the collection of
talent at the U of T is unique, and is
in fact unmatched in this country.
Ham later conceded, however,
that the U of T cannot afford to
ignore the problem of size. "The
idea that the U of T can survive as
a first-class institution by main-
taining a monolithic structure is
plainly wrong."

Governing Council Candidate
By T.K.Sawyer
"The Governing Council is the
governing body which comprises
the whole university, and it should
have at least one representative
from the two suburban campuses if
not one from each."
So says Frank Pegolo, a third
year commerce student who is one
of two Erindale students seeking a
position as a full-time under-
graduate Arts and Science rep on
the Governing Council. The elec-
tion gets under way this week.
Pegolo boasts experience as a
member of the Erindale College
Council and as one of Erindale's
representatives on the Students
Administrative Council.
Beyond his interest in securing
suburban representation on the
Governing Council, Pegolo sees
rising tution fees, and course
cutbacks as the major issues of the
election. He notes that "four or
five" courses at Innis College have
already been cut, and questions
whether tuition increases and
course cutbacks actually accom-
plish anything. "The consequences
of these decisions are greater than
the savings to the university," he
said.
Pegolo is also concerned about
the effect which the controversial
Macdonald Report may have on
the Governing Council. Dr. D.
Macdonald was conunissioned by
last year's council to conduct an
external review of the university's
full governing structure.
"From the bits and pieces that
I've read, I gather it would be bad
for students," he said. He fears
that the council lost its active
policy-making role and become a
reactive body.
Erindale the Good —
Saving Fuel & Money
By GaU Stafford
With everyone tightening belts
and lowering thermostats these
days, Erindale is no exception. In
an interview with Physical Plant
Services Manager, Mr. A. Opalin-
ski, Erindale's energy problems
were brought to light.
Since 1973, because of a combina-
tion of the Arab oil embargo which
aroused public awareness and
budget cutbacks, (again, again)
Erindale began a program of
energy conservation. In the past
3% years gradual changes have
taken place with the result of a
considerable savings. Some of the
cutbacks have been: no heat or air
conditioning in the Meeting Place
(in effect since the South Building
are shut completely down after
each day's use, and the removal of
from 15 to 50 per cent of the lighting
around the coUege.
This latter change may have
only attracted your attention
recently because of the Library's
prior refusal to co-operate. For
three years they had refused to
turn any lights off and gave in only
after two consultants, doing a
survey in 1975 on energy conserva-
tion for Erindale remarked that
perhaps they had too much light.
Hence the co-operation.
Compared with the 1973-74 cost
and consumption of fuel, these
reductions have saved 47 per cent
of fuel consumption and 19 per cent
hydro. In 1973-74 we used 884,000
gallons of oil and although we
switched to gas in 1975 we still will
only use an estimated 460,000
gallons this year. At today's prices
this would have cost us an
additional $145,000 on top of what
we already pay.
Although consumption has gone
down, the cost of fuel has risen
over the past few years. For
Erinddivi it has risen at a much
slower rate than if there had been
no cutbacks. According to Mr.
Opalinski, these reductions have
resulted in a two or three year
delay of the higher costs. In
1975-76, the cost of heating was
$212,000 and in 1977-78 it will be
$160,000 (further savings were
offset by the cost of some further
alterations).
These changes have not come
about very easily. There was a
need estabUshed way back in 1974
to hire a mechanical engineer to
implement the needed changes. He
would have been paid out of a
portion of the savings gained. He
was finally hired this year. He is
Mr. J.H. Wojcik and his official
title is Operations and Mainten-
ance Engineer. He is responsible
for implementing the suggestions
outlined in the mechanical report
on energy conservation prepared
by two consultants in 1975 and 1978.
These changes will be in effect
permanently unless someone dis-
covers a cheap effective method of
taming solar energy or invents
some earth-shattering new fuel. In
fact greater savings will be had in
the near future with further imple-
mentations of energy cutbacks.
Savings that have been made so far
have been done with no changes in
equipment.
One of the proposed changes will
be to replace existing florescent
tube lighting with ones that use
lower power wattage. This way aU
light fixtures can be utilized
instead of disconnecting one-half of
the fixtures.
These lights, however cost twice
as much as existing ones and it is
debatable whether it is worth it.
Also, much of the large equipment
bought for Erindale was designed
for future use when Erindale is
much bigger than it now is. It is a
waste of energy to have these in
partial use and thus capacitors are
being provided to cut down on
energy consumption.
Lastly and most interestingly,
the air that is forced into the rooms
will be cut down upon. Now, don't
panic and think you are about to be
suffocated, the air being pumped in
will depend on the number of
people and the temperature in the
room. To pump the same amount
of air for one person as for eight is
a sad misuse of energy for the air is
taken from the outside and heated
to an acceptable temperature.
Cutting down on air volume (it is
called variable air volume as
opposed to constant air volume)
will cut down on heating costs.
The upkeep of Erindale's build-
ings is a daily battle with the
elements and with money. Any
changes that can help this battle
wiU most surely be welcomed. The
co-operation of staff and students
is one of the most important
factors in the success of these
ventures. An Advisory Committee
on Energy Conservation has been
set up with representatives from
all centres and interested students.
So far Rob Mowat (president of
ECSU) is the only student to
appear interested. Any and all
others can talk to Mr. Opalinski
(Rm 3095). The role of the
committee will be to explain
changes to us, what to do, how to do
it and, most importantly, to
influence the public in following
the advise.
For the most part these changes
have been accepted quietly, even
apathetically. Few people have
even noticed the reduction in
lighting and so far any complaints
have been kept to themselves. Mr.
Opalinski stressed that if anything
(not just cutbacks) annoys the
students, they should tell a
maintenance man, a supervisor or
if no-one else is around, even
Security who will in return report
back to himself. Problems with the
buildings and its upkeep are of a
major concern with Mr. Opalinski,
but they cannot be remedied
without first being indentified.

Bus fees up again
ByBOGNAGAWASKI
Bus fees for both the Mississauga
Transit and the St. George shuttle
service will rise next year, it was
decided at a recent meeting of the
College Affairs Committee. Stu-
dents will be expected to pay 35
cents a ticket for Mississauga
Transit and up to a dollar for rush
hour shuttle service.
Recent cutbacks throughout the
university are part of the reason
for the fee increases. Robin Ross,
vice-principal of Administration at
Erindale, told Medium II. Cut-
backs of 3% per cent on academic
costs and five per cent on
administrative costs have had to
be implemented.
To cut busing costs five per cent
the budget will have to be reduced
to $66,500 the cost of which is
evenly split between the university
and the college.
The sub-committee for trans-
portation and parking stated in its
report that if it is assumed that
cost increases for 1978-79 are 10 per
cent the deficit will be in the area
of $76,626. Three proposals were,
therefore, presented to cut costs by
the necessary $10,000.
The three motions calling for
elimination of the summer shuttle
service, the increase in Missis-
sauga Transit fees and the
increase in regular shuttle service
fees were all carried.
The latter proposal, that St.
George bus fees be raised from 70
cents to a dollar and from 35 to 40
cents met with some strong
opposition. John Doherty, SAC's
External Affairs Commissioner,
argued that such an increase does
not take into consideration the
students who will have to pay for it.
Twenty per cent of the students
will be eliminated from grants, he
^tated in opposition to the fee
increases and the OSAP aUowance,
he felt, would not take these
increases into account. Additional-
ly, Doherty maintained that the
university had an obligation to
keep communications between the
campuses open.
The point was raised at the
meeting that the shuttle service
was for academic and not merely
commuter purposes. Due to finan-
cial considerations this therefore,
initial purpose must be kept
inmince.
Journeying Into the unknown, fearless explorers board an
Erindale shuttle bus. The cost of this voyage of the intrepid is
going up yet again.
Ross pointed out that there
already was an Express Bus
service from Islington subway to
the college during rush hours.
Council Okays Parking Fees Increase
ByDanMcKitterick
On February 27 the Erindale
College Council approved the
College Affairs Committee recom-
mendation to raise full-time park-
ing permits for 1978-79 to $48. The
decision will also have part-time
permits go up to $24, daily rates to
$1 and evening permits eliminated.
The council was told that rates
should be increased to cover
"rising operation costs" and the
decision "to set aside $50,000 per
year towards the eventual con-
struction of a parking structure on
the campus." Several council
members objected to the second
reason and it passed only after
much heated debate.
Tom Eliot, chairman of the
sub-committee which made the
original increase proposal, said
that $6 of the full-time increase
would go towards operating costs
and $6 to the $50,000 per year.
This brought council member
Ms. Poe to her feet stating that this
was a case of "today's students
contributing to tomorrow" and
that they should not have to pay $6
for the parking structure. She then
introduced a motion that would
have the rate increase reduced "so
as not to provide the $50,000."
Eliot explained that his break-
down of the fee increase was only
an estimate. Actually, only the
money left after covering operat-
ing costs would go into the
structure fund. Is structure neces-
sary?
John Simpson, chairman of the
college affairs committee, said
that the deomgraphics of Missis-
sauga were "in favor of increased
enrolment in the future. Setting
aside the money now for the
structure would be an attempt "to
get their foot in the door" against
inflation which Simpson said is a
"case of being wise in the
present."
Council member Werner Klotz-
beucher disagreed, saying that
Erindale's enrolment was not
increasing and therefore there was
no need for more parking spaces.
He concluded that there was no
sense in setting money aside for a
structure. Poe backed Klotz-
beucher up, saying that voting for
the increase would be like giving
money to "an unnamed charity."
Ms. Poe's motion to take $6 off
the rate raise was then voted on
and narrowly defeated 30-27.
With that out of the way the main
point of whether or not to raise the
rates was voted on with little
discussion since most areas had
been covered in the previous
debate. This time the result was
niore decisive than before with
Council overwhelmingly accepting
the College Affairs Committee's
reconunendation.
ECSU's delegates at the meeting
voted for the increase. Afterwards
Rob Mowat told Medium II that he
is totally against the parking
structure and feels the likelihood of
it ever being built is "minimal."
Mowat said he voted for the
increase because he feels it is
important to improve (repair) the
parking lots and since rates have
been "extremely reasonable" in
the past, hoping for them to stay
the same it "doesn't reflect
reality."
In other business at this "special
meeting" Principal Paul Fox put
forth a motion for a constitutional
amendment. He proposed that the
Academic and College Affairs
Committees report to council
through the executive committee
in an effort to "streamline"
College government. After
speeches by Desmond Morton and
John Simpson, the chairman of the
two affairs committees, the motion
was defeated.

The University of Toronto Anti-
Cutbacks Coalition, meeting last
Wednesday at the SAC offices
decided to set up a sub-committee
to see what can be done about
getting non-academic support at
the university for the March 16th
Queens Park protest against cut-
backs, according to coalition
organizer Paul Campbell.
He said the meeting was
encouraging, because a number of
people turned up that he had not
seen at any previous meetings
including some members of the
SCIU who showed an interest in
supporting the March 16th protest.
The SCIU represents service
employees of the university who
have been very hard hit by the
present cutback policy.
So far the coalition has the
support of the Graduate Student
Union (GSU), the Graduate Assi-
tants Association (GAA), CUPE
(Library Workers from various
campus libraries) and the Stu-
dents' Administrative Council
(SAC).
The University of Toronto Staff
Association (UTSA) has been
attending the Coalitions meetings,
but according to Campell, "They
won't support the March protest."
What they want is to have the
university set up a permanent
cutback committee in its govern-
ment structure to make decisions
on where cutbacks should be made.
However, a reliable source has
told Medium II that UTSA is now
indicating that they propably
support the demonstration after
aU.
SAC is seeking mass student
support for the Queens Park
demonstration by having a special
meeting with U of T students in the
Medical Science Auditorium on
March 6th at 3 p.m.
The University of Toronto Anti-
Cutbacks Coalition is part of a
larger Metro Coalition made up of
groups from other post-secondary
institutions that are all partici-
pating in organizing the Queen's
Park demonstration. Added to
their support was that of member
colleges and universities of the
Ontario Federation of Students
(OFS), who voted by a large
majority to support the protest at
their meeting in Ottawa on the
February 26 and 27 weekend.
The next meeting of the Coalition
is this Wednesday, 2 p.m. at the
SAC offices.

DEATH WISH
How quickly they vacilliate. The
recent report calling for the easing
of admission standards at the
University of Toronto is a prime
example of the administration's
readiness to completely turn face
in its policy.
For the past two years, the
University has been bemoaning the
quality of education in Ontario.
Student literacy in universities
today is substandard, and the main
thrust of administrative planning
has been geared at improving the
academic calibre of post-secon-
dary education.
The personal campaign of Vice-
Principal Desmond Morton needs
little introudction as an example of
this attitude. The 'New' New Pro-
gram, in presenting a 'more
structured curriculum' of obliga-
tory courses from various discip-
lines, is intended to raise the
general knowledge of students at
Erindale. It has quickly found
fertile ground across the Univer-
sity of Toronto as the simplest
solution to an extremely complex
problem. It has also had the very
favorable effect of place the blame
on the students and not on the
educators.
But suddenly the tables have
turned. David Neelands, registrar
of Trinity College and head of a
six^nan committee assigned to
studying full-time enrolment, has
discovered that enrolment at the U
of T has been on the decline since
1972. Last year alone, enrolment
dropped almost six per cent over
the previous year.
The reaction to these statistics,
at least in the Neelands report, has
bordered on panic. Decrease
admission standards, it recom-
mends, and send out more offers to
Grade 13 graduates.
The consequences of such a
move could be more dangerous
than the wildest of regimental
programs. By drecreasing admis-
sion standards, the University of
Toronto is effectively dropping its
performance standards by the
same degree. A story reporting on
the committee's suggestions in the
Globe and Mall last Thursday also
points out that the attempts to
boost the enrolment on the St.
George campus will infringe on
other campuses' ability to draw
their admission quotas.
If the performance requirements
for Grade 13 graduates is dropped
on the St. George campus from the
75 per cent required for arts
studies, as the report recommends,
what will the standards be set at on
the satellite campuses? At present,
the Grade 13 minimum average for
applicants at Erindale is set at 60
per cent. It has been set lower
simply so it can attract more
students, but if those standards are
close to being the same as on the
downtown campus, the loss to our
enrolment would be immediate.
Couple that with the impending
New New Program, the average
student will find the attractions on
the downtown campus too much to
resist. It's a far cry from the high-
minded designs to bring the
student populace up to the apex of
articulacy.
There are some rather practical
reasons for the turn-around; any-
one familiar with the machinations
of the administration can guess
that the biggest of these is money.
The Ontario Government's grants
to universities are based on the
number of students enroled. At
present, the University of Toronto
receives $2,581 per student from
the Ontario Ministry of Colleges
and Universities. Next year, that
figure will go up to $2,715 a head.
Even a six per cent drop in
enrolment therefore means an
appreciable drop in the amount of
money the University of Toronto
will be able to glean from the
government. With an already
harshly restricted budget, the
administration is prepared to pile
students three deep in their seats to
keep faculty members on staff. As
far as they are concerned, it's
damn the torpedos and full speed
ahead.

DEAR MEDIUM II:
WE (ECARA) would like to
thank you for your thought pro-
voking article in the last issue(Feb.
27) entitled "Incidental Fees in a
NutsheU'.
The author, or authors, who are
as yet unnamed, brought forth
some interesting situations and
ideas which we would like to
comment on.
It was very apparent throughout
the article that the expenditure of
compulsory fees was of particular
importance. ECARA also feels that
they are responsible for providing
as far reaching a program as
possible so that all Erindale
students, faculty and staff have an
opportunity to participate. An
indication of this type of priority
can be found in the ECARA budget.
More than 75 per cent of the
athletic budget is spent in the area
of intramurals, instructions and
clubs. Obviously the athletic pro-
gram is directed toward providing
unrestricted participation.
It should be pointed out that the
incidental fees collected by
ECARA only make up 60 per cent
of the operating budget. The rest of
ECARA's revenue comes from
part-time, staff and faculty mem-
berships, facility rentals, instruc-
tion fees, community member-
ships in the summer, alumni
memberships and locker sales.
On top of this, the university
provides all the services such as
heat and light, administration and
land for no cost.
A $40,000 figure was mentioned
in the article as an amount which
ECARA horded over the last two
years in order to build the new
tennis courts and resurface the old
ones. This figure is actually around
$27,000 and was saved over a
period of nine years, not two.
Without this initial capital the
courts could not have bieen built
and it was a student decision to
build those courts. The rest of the
money was raised from summer
program revenues which are not
compulsory fees.
ECARA is also attempting to set
up new programs which can lie
fiiianced without student money
and yet be made available for
student participation. Erindale's
new fitness lab which will be
completed this summer is being
financed by Update and Wintario.
The outdoor pool is to be financed
by summer program money and
possibly a Wintario grant.
The saunas were paid for by the
residences, a fact which may not
have been clear.
ECARA helps students by provi-
ding over 50 part-time jobs each
year including positions as team
managers, referees, league com-
missioners and drivers. Archie's
Den also hires Erindale students
through the university.
Any suggestions which indiv-
iduals or groups would like to make
to improve ECARA's program are
most welcome and all will receive
serious consideration.
Medium II is to be commended
for writing such a well intentioned
article and it is hoped that this
letter can in some way clarify the
ECARA program and its priorities.
Sincerely,
ECARA.
Non-
Co-operative
I have just called Dean Andrews
to tell him that this year, in
contrast to past years, I will not
cooperate with students' surveys of
courses. This is ironic since I have
been, and still am, of the persu-
asion that the results of those exer-
cises can provide valuable guid-
ance to students in choosing their
courses. I say "can provide"
rather than "are providing" be-
cause in the past four years the
results of these surveys have not
been made available to incoming
students. Without reaching their
intended readership, the surveys
are a waste of time and money.
Hence my decision.
It is regrettable that ECSU and
previously SAGE can find neither
the time nor the impulse to serve
their constituents competently in
what appears to be a very impor-
tant matter.

Objection!
To the Board of Directors of Radio
Varsity:
Re : Your Letter to the Editor
of February 27, 1978
While I appreciate your com-
ments and concerns about your
station. Radio Varsity, and CFRE-
Radio Erindale, I feel I may have
been misrepresented somewhat in
your letter.
By stating that Radio Varsity
was not successful I meant that it
was not successful in obtaining the
FM licence and this is, of course,
the aim of the Varsity directors at
that time. After placing approxi-
mately $100,000 of student monies
into the project, one must wonder
why the station folded altogether
only to be resurrected this year.
While such a large sum was being
poured into Radio Varsity, subur-
ban campus radio stations receiv-
ed little SAC support. My argu-
ment was simply that CFRE has
proven it can exist and provide
students with adequate program-
ming and be satisfied with a closed
circuit operation at the same time
and therefore deserved SAC fund-
ing. Since Radio Varsity was given
a chance to succeed in its
endeavors, should not CFRE be
given the same opportunity?
While I agree that past perfor-
mance might in no way relfect
upon present staff of Radio
Varsity, SAC must evaluate possi-
bilities of future success. SAC has
done just this in funding CFRE. It
has further decided to test out
possibilities with a new Radio
Varsity by allotting minimum
funding as an experiment this
year. Perhaps Radio Varsity's
merit will be reaffirmed. CFRE
wishes you the best in your
attempts. One must realize that
CFRE has never intended to opt for
an FM licence hoping to improve
programming on the smaller Erin-
dale campus to serve the students
of Erindale. With the SAC funding,
we will hopefully be able to do so.
While I think that your idea of
cost-effectiveness of services pro-
vided by a station serves to

Hie position of Artist-in-Resi-
dence presently held by John
Loomis will be phased out next
year due to budget restraints. Mr.
Loomis, a superb musician, has
held the post for the last three
years when he succeeded well-
known artist David Blackwood. In
his official capacity Mr. Loomis
oversees the music program on
campus.
Gordon Fife of the Erindale
Music Association has proposed
Loomis be reinstated and sought
ECSU backing. Fife announced the
association intends to form a
theatrical group to produce the
musical, "Godspell" next year. He
stated the project would take at
least a year to organize; the first
step would involve arranging a
band.
Rob Mowat, ECSU president,
has moved that ECSU take all nec-
essary steps to support Fife in "his
quest for Loomis' reinstatement.
So far a compromise has been
reached whereby Mr. Loomis
would remain in his artist's cottage
and in return he would be respon-
sible for the Stage Band. Presently
the Music 100 instructors on
campus are not qualified to lead
the Stage Band.
Brian Maclnnis, affiliated with
the music association, stated the
reason it struck the bargain was to
keep the music organization going
in lean times. He suggested that
other groi4>s on campus might be
able to utilize Mr. Loomis' ser-
vices.
Alternative funding may be
available from the Canada Coun-
cil. The Council provides full
funding for artists at colleges and
universities on the basis of one
artist per year, subject to yearly
change.
Mr. Loomis has been unavailable
for comment.

Fair Dealing
A bit of controversy seems pending, due to the Erindale College
Libraries' proposal to tape CFRE records for library use.
It seems that students often make requests for popular music
recordings in the library. Since the library cannot appropriate
funds for such an expense, CFRE offered to donate recordings if
the library agreed to tape them.
In response to this proposal, H. Smith, Head Librarian, said that
ECSU was approached for money to buy approximately 100 blank
tapes. These tapes would be used to record CFRE music
recordings, and would be placed in the library for student use.
However, the question was raised at a recent ECSU meeting of
copyright laws regarding the library's taping of these records.
Smith said that this was a matter of interpretation whether or not
the copyright laws would be broken. It's a question of what is
considered fair dealing.
Death of a Carnivai
part 2
The death of ECSU's Winter Carnival two weeks ago may not
have been honorable, but it won't cost the Erindale student much.
According to ECSU President Rob Mowat, the only promotional
expenses inciured by the Student Union cover the costs of two
full-page ads in Medium n. Carling O'Keefe had supplied most of
the promotional material, Mowat said, and they will not ask to be
reimbursed.
"It was part of the company's promotional budget, and they don't
expect reimbursement," he said. "In Carling O'Keefe's case, it
was probably a tax write-off in the first place."
Gord Shantz, ECSU Vice-President, told Medium 11 that there
had been no applicants for any of the Carnival events, which
included cross-country skiing, wheelbarrow races, broomball,
snow golf, ice sculpting, and the highly-touted "world's largest
snowball" contest.
Mowat blamed the Carnival's failure on poor advertising. "ECSU
really could have done more in the area of promotion," he said.
In the past, ECSU has gone to the student body to actively
encourage interest in the annual festivities. The organizers of eadi
activity would set up a table in front of the South Building cafeteria
to draft participants, for example.
"ECSU will have to go to that sort of thing in the future to insure a
minimum level of participation," Mowat said.
Smol(e gets
in yer eyes
Busy nights at the Blind Ehick have in the past choked even the
sturdiest pub patrons.
They may not do so much longer.
The ECSU Board of Directors decided at a meeting last
Wednesday to spend a maximum of ten thousand dollars from
Blind Duck accounts for the purpose of ventilation.
"We're aiming at having the job completed before the end of our
term," said ECSU Finance Director Chris Shortt.
Tenders for the project finally went out this year after research
by last year's administration, and ECSU is considering proposals
from two companies. Neither company could guarantee that their
proposal would definitely do the job, Shortt said.
Shortt has since been talking to Physical Plant Services
Superintendent A.O. Miller, who has agreed to look into the
problem.
"Before we were talking about as cheap a system as we could
find, but if we're talking about ten thousand dollars we want a
system that will work," he said.
Music Weeic Again
Spring will be ushered in one week early at Erindale this
year by the Music Association. Music Week will run from March
11th to 17th, exposing Erindalians to a variety of musical styles.
TTie week kicks off with a concert by Liverpool on Saturday,
the nth. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, noon-hour
concerts will be held featuring: an as-yet-unnamed folksinger,
the Van Dyke Band, and the Crawling Thunder Review. John
Allen Cameron will be playing in the Blind Duck Wednesday
evening. Thursday brings the second Amateur Night of the year.
Cnie Andrew Sisters might even make a repeat performance.)
To top off the week, a good, old-fashioned Irish Pub will be held
in the South Building Cafeteria on Friday from one to three in
the afternoon.
Mowat
Cracks
Joke
ERINDALE (PAP) — Back on
the campaign trail, SAC Vice-
Presidential candidate Rob Mowat
suffered a setback last week when
the top of his head cracked
away.
Sources close to the Mowat
administration said the problem
was that the ECSU president
hadn't smiled since the last
elections, back in March '77. When
he tried to crack a smile, the strain
proved to be too much.
"Well, he got the scowl off his
face fine, but then he started to
smile, and it jest kept spreading
and spreading," said eye-witness
Myra Peddlecraft. "Kind of like a
Cheshire cat. Then, wham! It just
feUoff!"
The top half of Mowat's skull was
immediately retrieved by two aids,
who said that little damage
appeared to have been done.
"Nothing we can't fix up without a
little crazy Glue," they concluded.
Two coddled eggs and a flask of
Demererra Rum were found inside
the cranium.
A similar incident had occurred
earlier in the year, when Vice-
Principal Robin Ross, endeavoring
to stand up after a particularly
long meeting, had his knee-caps
suddenly explode.

For Specialists Only
By Tom Hanrahan
As a result of a recent decision
made by the Social Sciences
Curriculum Committee for Arts
and Science, students who want to
take Commerce 100 will also be
required to take Economics 100
plus a 100 level math course. In an
effort to curtail an ever-expanding
enrolment in the commerce
course, the curriculum committee
decided that this was the most
equitable form of restriction.
The decision to place the two
qualifying courses with Commerce
100 was accepted after the original
motion was defeated. The original
motion would have required stu-
dents who wished to take Com-
merce 100 to have achieved eighty
per cent or better in Grade 13 for
the downtown campus and seventy
per cent or better for Erindale.
Professor L. Brooks of the
Commerce Department at Erin-
dale explained that the committee
felt the percentage requirements
were inequitable, since a student
with sixty-five per cent in high
school could work hard and
become a very effective commerce
student. Brooks explained that the
student may have come from a

I do not propose that CFRE
profit at the expense of Radio
Varsity. Yet certain members of
the Communications Commission
continue to pit CFRE against
Radio Varsity as far as funding is
concerned. Thus, as manager of
CFRE, I must defend the station
within the confines outlined by
such members. I beUeve there is
enough money about to satisfy all
concerns. Further, our funding is
not in the way of a grant but,
rather, a loan and guaranteed
advertising. This is one point which
seems to have escaped your atten-
high school that was more difficult
academically, and as a result his
sixty-five per cent could be
equivalent to a seventy-two some-
where else.
The expansion in the number of
students enrolling in the Com-
merce 100 course, according to
Brooks, "has been truly dramatic
during the last year. The impact
has been even greater downtown,
where the situation is quite
critical."
Brooks explained that the num-
ber of students at Erindale
increased from 460 in 1976, to 672 in
1977. He said that "the university
can not continue to see this
expansion, since the number of
f uU-time professors is not adequate
to serve the needs of the students.
As enrolment increased, the num-
ber of students who wanted to see
full-time professors also worsen-
ed."
In an era of financial restraint,
one would suspect that perhaps the
further requirements were inten-
ded to curtail costs. However,
according to Brooks, the university
has offered ample resources for
the hiring of additional staff, but
qualified staff in the commerce
department are just not available.
Brooks said that last year there
were one hundred openings for
accounting teachers in Canada, but
there were only five qualified
applicants. >
Brooks explained that he did not
feel that they were restricting
anyone from taking Commerce
100, and added that they were
"certainly not attempting to
frighten away anyone who feels we
cannot properly accommodate
their needs. We are simply hoping
to attract students who are
committed to at least a little
further study in the area. Students
should perceive Commerce 100 as a
course which expects a lot, and
which serves as an introduction for
people who want a career in
business or accounting."
The Commerce Department at
Erindale is hoping to be able to
offer Commerce 202 next year.
This course, which is offered on the
downtown campus, serves the
purpose of an introductory course
for those students who only want to
find out what business and
accounting are all about.
tion. Is Radio Varsity willing to be
funded on the same basis as
CFRE?
As to providing services to
downtown students, I fail to see
why this point was even mentione-
ed. Erindale students are hopefully
benefitting from CFRE and this, in
itself, seems sufficient reason for
the funding of CFRE. Secondly, in
the beginning of this school year, I
mentioned the idea of CFRE
utilizing Radio Varsity lines to
broadcast downtown via bell lines
from Erindale. This is a distinct
possibility should Radio Varsity
fold once more (and we are hoping
it does not) in the eyes of CFRE
management. This would, of
course, serve downtown students
as you have suggested we should.
To close, I trust all campus
stations can cooperate with each
other and that competition for
funds can remain amicable. CFRE
hopes to arrive at some sort of
mutual agreement with Radio
Erindale and Radio Varsity to best
serve the students of the Univer-
sity of Toronto. Again, best wishes
for the future...
Sincerely,
Greg Tyndall, Manager
Radio Erindale.

Ryan: from integrity to the Liberals
By Daniel Boyer and
Arnold Bennett
(CUP) — During the hysteria of
October 1970, McGill Daily Asso-
ciate editor Tom Sorell received an
alarming call from a Montreal
police officer. The caller strongly
objected to a letter published in the
Daily. He claimed the letter was
"subversive" because of com-
ments made about the FLQ
manifesto.
"We're seizing your press run,"
Sorell was told. "And if you ever
print anything like this again, we'll
throw you in jail and shut down
your paper."
But it was not an anglophone
student newspaper that was the
main target of this police censor-
ship. Rather it was a far more
influential newspaper, coinciden-
tally being printed at the Daily's
printer imprimerie Dumont, that
the police were after.
CRITICISES ACT
The publisher of Le Devoir,
Claude Ryan, and his able team of
editorialists had been criticising
the War Measures Act, the
attitudes of the government, and
the related police repression — and
the powers-that-be were out to get
them. At the time, Le Devoir was
the only sizeable newspaper in
Canada that had the guts and the
principles to defend civil liberties
against the repressive onslaught
during this period. Most liberals
were in a state of quiet acquies-
cence to everything Trudeau,
Bourassa and Drapeau were doing
in the name of national security.
For his pains Ryan was accused
in a story planted by certain
federal politicians in the Toronto
media, of conspiring to set up a
"provisional government" in
Quebec to replace the faltering
Bourassa regime.
It is a curious irony that the
same Claude Ryan is now regarded
as a potential saviour of "Canadian
Unity" by many of the same
slsments who believed the smears
against him in 1970.
POLITICAL IRONIES
The last decade has seen its
share of political ironies. Robert
Stanfield, former leader of the
Progressive Conservative Party,
was wishing wistfully two years
ago that he had had the courage to
vote against the War Measures
Act. There was the whole inces-
tuous melting pot of Quebec
politics producing, out of struggles
against conscription and Dup-
lessis, such incompatible elements
as Jean Drapeau and Michel
Chartrand, the latter having been
Drapeau's campaign manager in a
by-election in 1943, Pierre-Elliot
Trudeau and Pierre Vallieres, who
in 1961 was Trudeau's own ap-
pointee to the editorial board of
Cite Libre.
Ryan was never a "subersive."
His politics have always learned in
a conservative direction though he
always remained a civil liber-
tarian and favored a mixed
economy. Ryan was always op-
posed to deconfessonalising the
Quebec school system and has
denounced Quebec's militant
teachers for trying to politicise
their students in the classrooms.
Ryan implicitly refutes that these
students are already being indoc-
trinated with the values of the
dominant ideology.
Somewhat of an autocrat in his
personal style, Ryan has been
highly critical of the Quebec labor
movement because of his strong
belief in the legitimacy of the
courts and the state as institutions.
He opposed the militant actions of
the Common Front of the Quebec
Labor movement in 1972, parti-
cularly such tactics as the union
occupation of Sept-Iles in protest
against the jailing of the union
leaders in May of that year.
Ryan, whose strong sense of his
own infallibility has earned him
the soubriquet of the "Pope of
Quebec Politics" from both friends
and critics was somewhat taken
aback when he was booed by the
workers of Sept-Iles when he spoke
there later in 1972.
CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE
As a firm believer in the
principle of "honest government"
but as an equaUy firm believer in
some form of federalism, Ryan
suffered an obvious crisis of
conscience in the Quebec elections
of 1973 and 1976. In part because of
his own opposition to the Common

Front, Ryan did not find the
Liberal record in 1973 to be
sufficiently rotten for him to
withhold his editorial support, even
though he had been criticising the
Bourassa government regularly
for three years. Because of his
federalist option, he felt he had no
choice, the Parti Quebecois having
not yet clearly separated the issues
of forming a government and of
independence.
LE JOUR VS. LE DEVOIR
But the Bourassa regime did not
improve during its nert three
years of office. While the PQ had
vituperated against Ryan for his
1873 stand and had set up Le Jour
to compete with Le Devoir, it now
provided him with an out. Since the
promise of a referendum on
independence now made it clear
that the election of a PQ govern-
ment did not imply the immediate
dismemberment of Canada, Ryan
could again in 1976 swim against
the stream of all other Canadian
editorialists as he had 1970. Ryan
critically supported the PQ, in
order to defeat the Liberals whose
continued presence in power he
considered to be disasterous.
In the year following the election
of the PQ, Ryan maintained his
critical stance towards the govern-
ment in power. The PQ's promised
reforms in such areas as housing,
municipal democratisation, health
care and car insurance were slow
in coming and proved to be
disappointingly inadequate when
they did come.
Tlie only area where the new
government did seem to move
strongly and decisively was
language. Ryan, a long-time de-
fender of minority rights, voiced
certain objections particularly in
the case of those provisions in Law
101 covering education of children
of immigrants from o,.»er provin-
ces. Nevertheless, Ryan was in
agreement with most of the
government's language policy as
were many francophone political
leaders. Ryan stated that all
immigrants from outside of
Canada should go to French
schools and that French, as the
language of the majority in
Quebec, should be the language of
work. His editorial critique centred
around applications of the law.
PERIOD OF INDECISION
The long period of indecision by
Ryan concerning whether he would
run for the leadership of the
Quebec Liberal Party, which he
had so recently condemned, is
indicative of his discomfort. Ryan
has always been primarily an
independent journalist, whose
credibility was based on that
independence. For him to now
openly associate himself with any
political party, as distinct from a
nonpartisan option like federalism,
might give that party political
mileage but might ^o substantial-
ly diminish Ryan's own credibility.
MAJOR CHANGES
Therefore Ryan insisted that
number of major conditions be
approved by the Liberals prior to
his candidacy. Some directly imply
that the Liberals have to clean up
their act and that the leadership
convention, through stringent re-
form of party financing along
Pequiste lines, be taken out of the
hands of the pawnbrokers and put
in the hands of the rank and file.
Another of Ryan's conditions, in a
strange contradiction, flew in the
face of that very control by the
rank and file.
This November, the Quebec
Liberal policy convention had
adopted a right-wing economic
policy favoring a return to "free
enterprise" and a reduction of
state intervention in the economic
sector. Ryan, a believer in the
mixed economy whose closest
political associations had been
with the NDP, insisted that this
economic policy be reversed as a
condition for his candidacy.
The Liberals agreed to all of
Ryan's conditions, with varying
degrees of sincerity. Those who
controlled the party machine lined
up behind former finance minister
Raymond Garneau, Ryan's
strongest advantage in the leader-
ship race is that the rank and file
may be aware that Garneau, with
his heritage of the Bourassa
regime is unlikely to lead the party
to victory against the PQ, whereas
Ryan has a chance. Some of the
party's powerbrokers would rather
take a chance with Garneau rather
than have to fight with Ryan for
control of the party in the future.
Even if Ryan wins the Liberal
leadership, it is not assured that he
will make his reforms stick. The
Liberal Party's ties to big corpora-
tions and to attitudes which Rayn
can never fully share are too
deeply rooted to be overthrown by
any lone crusader. Ryan may find
that the real masters of the Liberal
Party are neither its official
leaders nor its membership.

Discrimination Against Women Increasing
In Federal Public Service
OTTAWA (CUP) — Fearing
repercussions and possible retalia-
tion, an anonymous group of
female public servants has issued
a report saying that more women
are still getting poorer jobs and
most still make less money for the
same work than their male
counterparts.
The group had David Mac-
Donald, the Progressive Conser-
vative spokesperson on the status
of women present the report
because they felt speaking out
could jeopardize their careers.
MacDonald sent copies of the
report, "Equal Opportunities -
Why Not," to all members of the
House of Commons and Senate
with a special note to the minister
responsible for the status of
women. Marc Lalonde.
He told Lalonde that there are
"increasing signs of discrimina-
tion against women workers gener-
ally and the very obvious lack of
commitment or progress with
respect to the equal opportunities
for women in the Public Service of
Canada."
The report was compiled by "at
least a couple of dozen" women
according to MacDonald, and
states that the percentage of
administrative support jobs filled
by women has increased steadily
over the past five years, from 68.2
per cent in 1972 to 78.8 per cent in
1976, "thus creating the biggest job
ghetto in the public service."
Thirty-three per cent of federal
public service employees are
women and 86.5 per cent of the
74,332 employeed in 1975 earned
less than $10,000; while only 35.8
per cent of the men earned less
than $10,000 "and again, most of
them closer to $10,000 than $5,000"
according to the report issued
February 16.
"In the Clerical and Regulatory
(CR) group where 73.3 per cent are
women, the two highest levels, CR
6 and 7 are dominated by men
while at levels 1 to 5 women
outnumber the men. In the PM and
AS groups, considered middle
managment women are held back
while men are promoted."
In levels 1 to 5 of the CR group,
there are 36,966 women. In the
levels 6 and 7 there are only 454
women.
Francophone employees and
young women are hit even harder
by the employment practises and
there isn't one female personnel
director in the entire public
service.
Recruiting practises, career
assignment (advancement) pro-
grams, and all-male decision
makers have done little to improve
the situation according to the
report.
The three departments which
should be most concerned about
the problems of women workers
are in fact among the worse ones.
Manpower and Employment Com-
mission, Unemployment Insurance
Commission and the Department
of Labor all could do a lot more
according to the authors of the
report.
MacDonald said that he and
other MP's will attempt to shame
the government into action to
improve the situation. He said that
the women who wrote the report
were unhappy with their union's
reaction to the problem too, but
added that it was "not a severe
criticism."
He was also concerned that

ByJOHNREIS
Goodday, glad you could drop in
to read, most of us are dropping out
because we can't. Well if most of
you were able to convince your
parents that you were coming
home for reading week, but you
ended up on a bus to Vermont by
mistake then you also no doubt,
were able to convince them to
mortgage the house and raise some
money so that you could finish the
year. I myself faced the prospect of
either procuring a parental contri-
bution towards paying off the book-
store or finishiiig off my year in
San Quentin. And unless you intend
to go to law school and could use
the experience for your bar exams
a degree from U of T means so
much more.
What to do with all this hard-
begged cash you ask, well as part
of the Athletic department's on-
going policy of offering the finest in
entertainment and enjoyment,
there will be, no not a date with
Archie, but yes the finest Athletic
Banquet ever offered coming up on
Saturday March 18 at the Holiday
Inn West. Details are available in
the ECARA office Room 1114, but
believe me its location is easier to
find and get to than your 1 o'clock
class in the crossroads building
after lunch at the pub. But why? ..
you must be wondering, should I go
to the Athletic Banquet? Well, let
me present the most convincing of
reasons, because quite possibly
other than a year on probation, this
may be your last opportunity to get

Now first of all, attending the

hancing activities offered by the

Clean Up
ERIN 7 PHE II 2
By KAREN WASH
Once again Erindale's Women's
Ice Hockey Team dazzled spec-
tators at Varsity Arena last
■Riursday morning and crushed the
Jockettes.
Erindale came out flying with
Darlene Knibbe scoring almost
right off the face-off. In a
desperate attempt to deny the goal,
the Phys. Ed. goalie pushed the
net back against the boards but it
didn't work. Hustlers were on the
board.
The game went at a rather fast
pace with the Hustiers dominating
most of the game in the opposition
end. Several times Cindy Isles,
Erindale's goalie had to be
awakened. The scoring ended with
Knibbe scoring three goals and 2
assists; Melynda White, our re-
tired goalie getting two goals;
Mary Lou Borg picking up 1 goal
and three assists along with a very
obvious tripping penalty; and the
ever faithful defencemen Sue Shier
and Karen Wash claiming an assist
each.
Erindale's next game is against
the dreaded Scarborough team.
This will be the semi-finals, the
Hustlers face sudden death. Good
luck girls.
Or better yet, the athlete who
showed great skill and strength by
successfully opening an orange
juice carton from the cafeteria
without the aid of dynamite and,
within 48 hours.
There will be all sorts of people
attending such as the calm, cool
master of endurance, Varthola-
meau Hollingsheed (one of the big
names on campus) who stood in
line for 2 hours to photocopy 1 page
and then get a machine that was
out of change and paper. Better
yet, learn how he's progressing
under electroshock therapy. You
aren't convinced. I can tell, you're
almost ready to start reading the
Varsity instead.
You can see the football team
there (finaUy somebody will) and
see if the defence has really put out
a contract on their coach because
he hasn't seen a decent hit from
them all season. This will be the
opportunity (as long as Anita
Bryant doesn't hear about it) to
rub shoulders with some of the
brass of Erindale, Paul Fox and
others will be there. Although Mr.
Fox won't be jumping out of a cake
this year I understand members of
the rowing team will be in
attendance and will be coming out
of their sheU (pun intended). And
maybe they will confirm that
bouys will be bouys.
Besides the people, there will be
presentation of awards, dancing to
the beat of Bond and food, yes
excellent food, come and see if the
egg salad is all it's cracked up to
be. Fun and more fun from 5 pjn.
to 1 a.m. all for only $12.50 per
person - a class affair for the
students of Erindale.

The big event:
Scarborough
vs. Erindale
March 6, 1978 - MEDIUM II • Pag* 1 1
BySTUMEDLOCK
The event was unprecedented in
the annals of Erindale sport
history. It was four hours of
nonstop excitement which threat-
ened to break out into pande-
monium frequently throughout the
evening. What was happening?
What caused athletic director Bob
Ryckman to say "Brutal, just
brutal."?
Last Wednesday evening,
ECARA hosted its half of the semi-
annual Erindale-Scarborough
challenge match. It started a few
years a^o as a friendly evening of
competition between the two
satellite colleges in various intra-
mural sports and has now evolved
into a h-iendly stand-off between
rivals.
Slated for the evening's activi-
ties were indoor soccer, men's and
women's floor hockey, women's
and men's basketball, squash and
co-ed volleyball. However, trans-
portation and communication dif-
ficulties between the organizers
caused the soccer and volleyball
matches to be cancelled.
This obviously didn't take away
from the spirit of the remaining
contests as the two schools fought
tooth and nail for victory in every
game.
FOUGHT TRAFFIC
The Scarborough competitors
found themselves fighting rush
hour traffic all the way to Erindale
and as a result the first game,
women's floor hockey, started an
hour late. The game saw Scarbor-
ough College face members of
Erindale's rowing team, who
currently hold the intramural floor
hockey title. Against such for-
midable odds, it was expected to be
no contest, but such was not to be
the case. Play was very scrambly
and congested for the Qrst ten
minutes of the game until the
ladies in maroon (Scarborough)
decided that their bodies were best
put to use in the checking depart-
ment.
As a result many Erindale
players found themselves rudely
awakened by tactics which were
formerly exclusive to their male
counterparts. This checking often
resulted in many Scarborough
scoring chances, which eventually
converted into goals.
Needless to say, Scarborough
claimed victory, but this caused no
solemness in the homeside's atti-
tude as the men's floor hockey
game drew near. For Erindale, the
team was made up of members of
various intramural teams current-
ly competing in Erindale's eigh-
teen team league, including mem-
bers of the defending champion
K.C. and The Boys, The Bushers,
The Flaming A's, the Gasowee-
neeks and the Bangers.
TEAMS DEADLOCKED
The Scarborough team, although
not representing any organized
team or league, was comprised of
an array of behemoths which could
have easily been mistaken for a
football squad. Nonetheless, Erin-
dale with experience on their side,
took the game to the visitors
throughout the match, not giving
an inch anywhere. Exemplifying
this attitude was Carlos Medal of
K.C. who pestered the Scarbroough
defence aU night long and eventu-
ally cashed in on a steal to give
Erindale the opening score of the
game.
MEDLOCKBIT
Midway into the third period,
with the score tied 2-2, the Gaso-
weeneeks' Mike Czerwinsky de-
cided that the deadlock was getting
boring, and, having turned on the
burners, eluded two Scarborough
checks and ripped a shot into the
top comer, returning Erindale to
the lead. The game continued its
exciting end-to-end hitting and
shotting until the last few minutes
of the game when Erindale ran into
penalty trouble. Some obscure and
beligerent player named Medlock
slashed, bit and axed his way into
four minutes of penalties with less
than that left in the game. End
result, a 3-3 tie, Scarborough
putting in the equalizer with nine
seconds remaining in the game.
The women's basketball was a
shortened affair which worked to
Erindale's advantage (their only
one). Scarborough fielded a well-
drilled team which included 3
interfaculty players, while Erin-
dale's makeshift unit probably
wished they had traded some of
their high-spirited enthusiasm for
some playing experience. Another
victory for Scarborough.
FOULS COSTLY
The men's basketball game
featured Scarborough vs. the intra-
mural finalist Ace Trucking Co. It
was suspected but not determined
that the Scarborough squad had
some interfaculty players in this
game, too, but it didn't deter Ace
Trucking. Led by guard Jerry
Zarycky, Ace took and lost the lead
numerous times throughout the
first half, ending in a one-point
Scarborough lead.
The game continued into the
second half with the guards on
both teams tabulating most of the
points and the defensive reboun-
ders controlling the boards. The
excitement of the game worked
against Ace, who committed some
costly fouls towards the end of the
game, a situation which became
the deciding factory in Scarbor-
ough's sixiwint victory.
Afterwards, all participants re-
tired to the Faculty Lounge for
snacks by various natures. To coin
an over-used phrase, a good time
was had by all.
The Gasoweeneeks and Hobbits lead their respective divisions with perfect 3-4)-0 records
after the second week of floor hockey action.
Warriors Smolce Opposition
By BILL HURLEY
The Warriors picked up the
momentum they needed to go into
the playoffs, this past week with
impressive back-to-back wins. In
doing so they also came out of their
scoring slump by scoring 12 goals
over the two games.
It started last Monday with a
game against Victory College.
Erindale has always been able to
handle Vic, and Monday proved no
different. Opening the scoring for
Erindale was Peter Perkovic, after
five minutes of play, with assists
going to Bob (Tiger) Jones and Bill
Gregson. The Warriors again
tallied at the 13 : 05 mark of the first
period. This time "Tiger" did the
honors with "Captain" Ted Nesbitt
picking up the assist.
The game continued to get
rougher with the Warriors taking
much of the chippiness from a
frustrated Vic squad. The second
period saw many a near fight but
Erindale was aware of the impor-
tance of the game and let Vic take
the penalties. The Warriors put the
icing on the cake with 6:50 left in
the game. Perkovic scored his
second of the game with Rory
O'Neill.
Picking up the shutout for the
Warriors was old reliable Mark
Sadowski. Only one thing that can
be said for the Victoria College
hockey team, "THEY HAVE NO
CLASS".
The next victim of the Warriors
was Scarborough who were hum-
iliated 9-1 by the potent Warrior
attack.
Before ten minutes had gone by
in the first period the Warriors had
taken a 5-0 lead. The first period
ended with Erindale leading 6-1.
Scoring for Erindale in the first
were Greg Lee with two, Steve
Smith, O'Neill, Nesbitt, and Per-
kovic getting single goals. Assists
went to Smith (2), Gregson (2),
Cam Stuart (2), Tiger (2) and
Perkovic and O'Neill with one
each.
Erindale slowed down in the
third and only scored three. Lee
collected two more for a game total
of four and Borcsok with one.
Assists went to Smith, O'Neill,
Nesbitt,, Murray Barrick and
Gregson.
The Warriors will now be
concentrating on the playoffs but
as of yet their opponent is
unknown.
N.B. Erindale's record for the
season was 8-3-4, won-lost-tie, with
all their wins against first division
teams. The most impressive
record of the year for Erindale was
the goals against average of 1.07 in
15 games. A lot of credit has to go
to our two fine goalies Ron (Vito)
Capone and Mark Sadowski.
Page 12 - MEDIUM II March" 6, 1978
WAYLON& WILUE: COUNTRY'S BEST
Two of the biggest names in
country music, Waylon Jennings
and Willie Nelson, decided last
year to combine their talents and
make a record. The result of this
endeavor, Waylon and Willie,
ranks as one of the finest pieces of
vinyl to emerge from any field of
music in quite some time.
TTiis is an album of love; either
between man and woman, mother
and child or man and booze. These
subjects are typical of all country
music ballads, yet on this latest
effort they remain remarkably
fresh. This is due to the lyrics and
manner of phrasing of Jennings
and Nelson, as we are constantly
moved by injections of humor in
the sentimental songs and pathos
in what seem to be optimistic
numbers. You just don't know what
to expect next as the album flows
along because of their unusual
approach to songwriting.
COUNTRY DUET
Jennings' voice has a very strong
timber; he seems to violently
punch out entire sentences in his
deep, rich tone. Willie Nelson is far
more mellow and words seem to
float from his lips when he sings.
When they perform as a duet they
can almost be seen as a country
and western Simon and Garfunkel.
Because of the vocal prowess of
these two, instrumental solos are
few and far between. There are no
predominant fiddles or steel gui-
tars and even on long musical
interludes like on "If You Can
Touch Her At All', Willie fills in the
gaps with his hiunming.
Nelson's solo numbers are the
most captivating on the album
because of his colorful lyrics.
While Waylon sings routinely, "I
keep lookin' for a feeling that I lost
when I lost you," Willie laments.
When you go out to play this
evening.
Play with fireflies till they're
gone.
Then rush to meet your lover.
And play with real fire till
dawn."
POWER
Although he is backed by only a
single acoustic guitar and the odd
harmonica, he doesn't need any
extra support as his frail voice
gains power through his words. As
stated before these are not your
average batch of love songs and
this is what makes the album so
appealing. When Willie sings
Take back the weed, take back
cocaine, baby.
Take back the pills, take back
the whiskey too.
Don't need it now, your love was
all I was after,
I'll make it now, I can get off on
you,
we know he has the same power in
his lyrics as Hoyt Axton, without
quite as much gimmickery as that
performer incorporates.
CLASSIC CUT
Waylon's high point comes with
his outstanding version of Stevie
Nicks' "Gold Dust Woman". One
realizes now that this lady's songs
would perhaps all be gems if she
kept them away from the great
leveler of good material, Fleet-
wood Mac.
The album's classic cut, how-
ever, is "In a Couple More Years",
a number which focuses on an old
man-young girl relationship. The
lines,
It ain't that I'm wiser
It's just that I've spent more
time
With my back against the wall
And I've picked up a couple more
years
On you, lady, that's all
are sung so calmly that it would
seem that losing the girl doesn't
mean that much to Willie. When
you listen to the rest of the song,
however, you realize the effect the
rift has had on him and that he is
simply trying to rationalize the age
difference in his own mind.
Whether you enjoy country songs
or not, you can appreciate the work
of these two men on almost any
musical level. Rolling Stone
associate editor Chet Flippo sums
it up best when he says, "The world
neeids a lot more Willie and Waylon
right now, and a whole lot less of
that other crap."
Madcats, Meatloaf, Guess Who
A Near Miss, a Direct Hit, and
a Chance to Reload
Madcats
The Madcats (left to right) Glen Gratto, Brad MacDonald, John Erdman, Bobby Blake and
in the middle, The Sadcat, Grant FuUerton. A new band showing a lot of potential, but badly
in need of polish.
Last Wednesday evening
marked the debut of a new Toronto
bar band called the Madcats. The
leader of this band. Grant Fuller-
ton, is a veteran in the local music
scene having spent much time in
the Stych in Tyme and later in
Fullerton's Dam. You would think
with all of this experience he would
be able to put on a fairly good rock
and roll show. Unfortunately this is
not the case, as he was by far the
weakest link in this five-man band.
Alternate lead vocalist Bobby
Blake illustrated all of Fullerton's
weaknesses as his excellent
Kansas-like vocals seemed to
hover above the hard-driving rock.
The first number, "Free Wheeling
Down the Road", had the two men
tradijig vocals; the result being a
melody period being alternated
with moments of complete flat-
ness. Although Blake almost saved
the song, the material (written by
FuUerton (is too weak to stave off
monotony.
"Woman's Got the Power Over
Me" is the Madcats' best song and
this is due to the fact that it is a
complete copy of Boston's "More
Than a Feeling". The guitar work
of Blake and keyboard work of
Brad MacDonald was superb
nevertheless, and show that with
good material this band would be
quite excellent.
In "Teenage Valentino", Fuller-
ton strains his voice to sound like
Randy Bachman. His raunchiness
does not cover the weakness of
lyrics like
His real name is Valentino,
But everyone calls him Joe,
Works up in the Big High Rise
On the telephone from nine to
five.
This number, which was the
longest of the evening, gave all the
band members a chance to solo.
Rullerton's solos were good only in
the light of his singing as his
playing was long and boring.
Although FuUerton may have
worked the hardest, the playing of
Bobby Blake, Brad MacDonald

Meatloaf simmers between nombers at his recent set at tlie
El Mocambo. His debut album, "Bat Out of Hell" Is a
competent work which indicates a bright future for tills
voluminous vocalist.
Continued from page 12
and Glen Gratto was far more
effective. Madcats showed a lot of
potential and if the one destructive
force in the form of Grant
Fullerton is removed, they will be
a ttand to be reclconed with.
Meatloaf
"Bat Out of HeU" has all of the
ingredients of a classic album. For
example, in the title track alone,
you have the extremely capable
Todd Rundgren playing guitar,
singing background vocals and
producing. You have the angelic
choir of Ellen Folen, Kasim Sultan,
and Rory Dodd adding an other
wordly uplifting to the song, but the
greatest asset of all is Meatloaf's
powerful singing. Therefore, with
keyboards being pounded, sound
being wnmg out of guitars and
Meatloaf cooking on vocals, it is
difficult to see why this record,
although an excellent debut, can-
not be considered a classic.
The answer, through the process
of elimation has to be the
song-writing of Jim Steinman.
Narrowing it down even further, it
is the music, not the lyrics, which
hold it back. The tunes threaten to
become entrenched in your mind
but always lose their force Ijefore
they are through. Steinman should
follow his ideas to their conclusion,
but he seems to feel that the
numbers' length calls for varia-
tion, and we are left with a feeling
of incompleteness.
This explains why the shorter
numbers are the best ones on the
album. "Heaven Can Wait" is
especially pretty as the dominant
piano and sparse string arrange-
ment show what this singer-song-
writer due can come up with when
they are at their best. The other
song which runs under five
minutes, "All Revved Up, With No
Place To Go", is the best uptempo
number because of some great
honky tonk piano and saxaphone
work of Edgar Winter.
Side two features "Paradise by
the Dashboard Light", the song
that proves to be the most
humorous cut on the album for the
first four minutes. In "Paradise"
we are informed that the couple
involved are "gonna go all the way
tonight." Directly after this we
receive a hilarious baseball broad-
cast which describes not only the
ball game in the field but the one in
the car between the two lovers. The
implication of scoring a nm when
combined with lines "He's gonna
slide in head first" and "This boy
f w really fly" are obvious but
when you hear a female voice
groaning, "Okay, oaky, okay," in
the background of the broadcast,
the effect is heightened.
Discrimination con't
Continued from page 9
destructive myths about women in
the job market should be exposed.
He said that there was clear
evidence that women were in the
public service to earn a living, and
not just to earn extra "spending
money. He siad that it was also
clear that maternity benefits for
women was no rip-off.
The group has asked the govern-
ment to provide detailed infor-
mation on the status of women in
the government, department by
department, and provide infor-
mation on the immediate plans of
each department to correct the
worsening situation.
The Guess Who circa 1972. Jim Kale (far left) and Kurt Winter (second from right) are the
nucleus of the new band which makes It debut at the Concert Bowl later this month.
It is more moments like this that
we need and not the stabs at
grandeur Steinman and Meatloaf
make at other times. They can pick
out the shorter songs and inter-
esting segments of the longer ones
on "Bat Out of Hell" and maintain
them for forty minues, their next
album will be a sensation.
Guess Who
Jim Kale, Don McCougall and
Kurt Winter were three of the five
members of the Guess Who that
recorded "Live at the Para-
mount." Together with drummer
Vance Masters, an old friend from
Winnipeg, they will hit the road as
the 1978 edition of the Guess Who.
One may be inclined to say that
without former keyboardist-
vocalist Burton Cummings, the
band is destined to flop. This can be
argued quite fiercely when we
look at the current group mem-
bers' credits. Kale had a hand in
writing "American Woman";
Winter was the lone writer of "Bus
Rider", "Hand Me Down World"
and teamed up with Cummings for
a lot of the band's other hits.
McDougall not only wrote such
noted album tracks as "Saman-
tha's Living Room" and "Lost and
Found Town" but displayed a fine
voice as well. This would seem to
indicate that he will be handling
most of the band's vocal chores.
Burton Cunmiings has shown by
his solo career just how important
his singing and playing were with
the original band. His writing
style, however, has changed since
the group split up and he now
seems to favor establishing him-
self as a nightclub type singer
rather than someone who chruns
out his records. Perhaps this new
band will concentrate more on
bringing back the spirit of the old
Guess Who in their songs; their
track record indicates that they
are quite capable of doing so.
Whether they do or not, the
inclusion of some of their vintage
numbers in their Concert Bowl
appearance later this month will
certainly be enough to upstage the
headlining Triumph.

J.
By
John Challis
Canada has suddenly found itself swept into the world of
international intrigue and espionage. We were forced into it. Yes,
when Gouzenko told us that the Civil Service was a front for a
Soviet Spy ring, we tolerated it. When the Russians started floating
around on our icebergs, we let them go to it. Things began to steam
up, though, when they started putting spies in the RCMP. That was
dirty pool. And the crowning touch came when they dropped a
satellite in our own Arctic.
The effrontery ! To think they could just heave their refuse in our
backyard like that. Such activities could not go without retaliation.
Unbeknownst to all but the privileged few, a new department has
quietly been added to the bureaucratic Labyrinthe in Ottawa. It's
directly across from the Parliament Buildings, I found out.
At first glance, it appears to be just another pool-hall, a new one
set up for Honorable Members tired of debating (no doubt the
product of a LotoCanada grant. Trapper Chall would surmise). But
to the observant eye, all is not as it ^ould be. For one thing, there
are no greasy-haired thirteen year olds cursing the paper off the
walls and pulling knives on each other. For another, there are two
Mounties in full decorative dress, on horseback, guarding a
curtained doorway in the back of the hall. I asked them what they
were doing there. They gazed back at me coolly.
"Just loitering," one replied, "so beat it, punk."
As I was leaving, I noticed another figure coming in obviously of
military bearing. The graying temples, determined set of the jaw
and mandatory scar above the right eye were familiar features to
me. He was none other than Chief Stonewall Haggard, former
Commissioner of the RCMP, suddenly dismissed under
questionable circumstances, and nunored to have retired to the
Bahamas. I would catch him as he came back out, and see what I
could get from him. But he'd be a tough nut to crack.
Three hours later I had his number. In Maggie's Bar and Short
Order Restaurant, I bought him a grilled cheese sandwich with a
Strubb's dill on the side and he was like putty in my hands. But even
putty can kill if it's made of gelignite. I took my hand off his knee
and waved to the waitress. She curled an alluring hare-lip at me.
"Coffee, gorgeous, double black," I ordered. Haggard was
impressed. "I like yer style, kid," he said, "Tough, real tough." I
shrugged. He was ready to talk and I was ready for the low-down.
But not ready for the story he would tell me.
The pool hall, of course, was a front; more than that, though, it
was the centre for a veritable hot-bed of covert activities. From
across Canada the government has collected a braintrust of the
cleverest minds in Canada to combat the threatened evils of dirty
Commie Bolshie infiltration. Morton Shulman, Joey Smallwood, Ed
Mirvish, Farley Mowat: those are just a few of the names on a list
that must by now have the KGB shaking in its boots. And Stonewall
Haggard was chosen head of this crack team. He sat back proudly
to let me consider this.
He continued with his story, which grew more fantastic as he
went along. Protection was really a minor part of the braintrust, he
said, leaning forward, and knitting his brows together. Double
pearl stitch. Their true purpose was offensive. It seemed logical.
Canada's record in world politics was pretty offensive.
Their master-plan is an uncanny scheme they call the
Master -Plan, a caper so ingenious and complex that it'll make the
CIA look like a two-bit pack of private dicks from the Bronx.
"The first phase entails getting Crombie out of Toronto," said
Haggard, "We've already got him bottled up somewhere safe." But
what about the stories in the papers? Isn't he supposed to be
running for federal office?
"Right" says Haggard, "That's the beauty of it. We've got him a
look-alike robot doing that for him. That's why we've got him
running for federal office, they'd suspect something in Toronto
where everybody knows him so well, but even if the robot breaks
down, nobody in Ottawa would notice."
Phase Two is the really astounding part. High above the Arctic
Circle, in Tuktoyaktuk, is a secret military base equipped with a
satellite launching pad disguised as a giant sling-shot. David
Crombie will be loaded in a mock Telstar satellite and blasted into
outer space. To allay the suspicions of the locals, we'll tell them it's
just the Northern lights."
The satellite will then be directed to plunge into the trackless
wastes of the Ural mountains in the Soviet Union. Says Haggard,
"it worked with them, didn't it? We'll tell 'em, heck, it happens all
the time. Maybe we'll even pay for some of the clean-up. What they
won't know is the cargo we have on the thing."
Crombie will emerge as Canada's secret weapon, more effective
than nuclear holocaust. With Brezhnev getting on in years.
Haggard explained, the chairmanship of the Central Committee is
set up for grabs. Heading straight for Red Square, Crombie will
move in as the Tiny Perfect Proletarian, and take Moscow by
storm, so baffling everyone with his cuddly smirk and anonymity in
the face of decisions that, in no time, he will be running the Soviet
Union.
"See, the Russkies haven't any experience with anything like a
Crombie. They're all Machiavellian, power-crazy, and they show
it. They've never even heard of anyone being power-crazy and cute
at the same time. They won't know the first thing when it comes to
dealing with him. They're helpless!"
In a short time, Crombie will have teddy-beared his way into
power, and turn the Soviet machine into a giant metropolis
burdened with contradictory building codes and park regulations
that only apply on freeways. The Russian citizenship will develop
schizophrenia. EventuaUy, the Germans will move in and buy up
all the Russian businesses and industries.
Haggard sat back, licking the last of the crumbs from his plate.
"Teach them to mess around with us," he concluded.

Julius Schmid
would like to give you some straight talk
about condoms, rubbers, sheaths, safes,
Rench letters, storkstoppers
All of the above are other names for
prophylactics. One of the oldest and most
effective means of birth control known
and the most popular form used by males.
Apart from birth control, use of the
prophylactic is the only method
officially recognized
and accepted as an aid
in the prevention
of transmission of
venereal disease.
Skin
Prophylactics.
Skin prophylactics
made from the mem-
branes of lambs were
introduced in England as early
as the eighteenth century CoUoquially known
as "armour"; used by Cassanova, and men-
tioned in classic literature by Richard Boswell
in his "London Journal" (where we read of his
misfortune from not using one), they continue to
^ be used and increase in popularity
■^ to this very day.
Because they
are made from natural
membranes, "skins"
are just about the best
conductors of body
warmth money can
buy and therefore
their effect on sensation and feeling is almost
insignificant
Rubber Prophylactics
The development of
the latex rubber
process in the twentieth
century made it pos-
sible to produce strong
rubber prophylactics
of exquisite thinness,
with an elastic ring at
^^. the open end to keep
the prophylactic
from slipping off
the erect penis. Now these
latex rubber prophylactics
are available in a variety
of shapes and
colours, either plain-ended, or
tipped with a "teat" or "reservoir
end" to receive and hold
ejaculated semen-
Lubrication
And thanks to modem
chemistry, several new non-
reactive lubricants have been
developed so that prophylactics are available
in either non-lubricated or lubricated forms.
The lubricated form is generally regarded as
providing improved sensitivity, as is, inci- ,
dentally, the NuFomf Sensi-Shape. For ydur
added convenience, all prophylactics are /
pre-rolled and ready-to-use. / /;
Some Helpful Hints
The effectiveness of a prophylactic,
whether for birth control or to help prevent
venereal disease, is dependent in large
measure upon the way in
which it is used and disposed
of. Here are a few simple
suggestions that you may
fmd helpful.
Packaging
First of all,
there's the matter
of packaging.
Skin prophylactics are now pack-
aged premoistened in sealed
aluminum foil pouches to keep them
fresh, dependable and ready for
use. Latex rubber prophylactics are
usually packaged in sealed
plasticized paper pouches or
aluminum foil.
All of these prophylactics, at
least those marketed by reputable
firms, are tested electronically
and by other methods to make
sure they are free of defects.
Prophylactics are handled very
carefully during the packaging
operation to make sure they are
not damaged in any way.

Storage and Handling
It is equally important that you store and
handle them carefully after you buy them,
if you expect best results and dependability.
For example, don't cany them around in
your wallet in your back pocket and sit on them
from time to time. This can damage them
and make them worthless. Next is the matter
of opening the package. It's best to tear the
paper or foil along one edge so that the simple
act of tearing doesn't cause a pinhole. And
of course, one should be particularly careful of
sharp fingernails whenever handling the
prophylactic.
PuttingThem On
The condom, or prophylactic, should be put
on before there is any contact between the
penis and the vaginal area. This is important,
as it is possible for small amounts of semen
to escape from the penis even before orgasm.
Unroll the prophylactic gently onto the
erect penis, leaving about a half of an inch pro-
jecting beyond the tip of the penis to receive
the male fluid (semen). This is more easily
judged with those prophylactics that have a
reservoir end. The space left at the end or
the reservoir, should be squeezed while unroU-
ing, so that air is not trapped in the closed end.
As mentioned earlier, you may wish to
apply a suitable lubricant either to the vaginal
entrance or to the outside surface of the
prophylactic, or both, to make entry easier and
to lessen any risk of the prophylactic tearing.
Tkking Them Off
When sexual relations are
completed, withdraw the penis while
the erection is still present, hold-
ing the rim of the prophylactic until
withdrawal is complete, so as to
stop any escape of semen from the
prophylactic as well as to stop it
from slipping off. Remove the pro-
phylactic and, as an added precaution, use
soap and water to wash the hands, penis and
surrounding area and also the vaginal area
to help destroy any traces of sperm or germs.
And now for a commercial.
As you've read this far you're probably
asking yourself who makes the most popular
brands of prophylactics in Canada?
